U-14 Div 5 East Kerry Final
Spa played a physically stronger Scart/Cordal Team in Fitzgerald Stadium last Monday night. Even though Spa conceded a couple of early goals they never gave in. Riain O’Neill defended exceptionally well winning most of the ball going down the middle. He linked well with Ethan O’Neill who fed some great ball into Cian Murphy who in turn crashed a couple of great balls to the net. In the second half Eoghan Mulvany got onto some great ball and made some surging runs up the pitch finishing a fantastic ball to the oppositions net. However on the night a much stronger Scart/Cordal Team won well in the finish. However it was very reassuring to note that many of the Spa team will be under age again next year, whereby they’ll be a year older and stronger.

Some great defending by Alan O’Sullivan kept the game tight. The introduction of the two Cremin brother Oliver and Connie brought fresh impetus in the 2nd half. However as the game wore on Ardfert scored some important points and were worthy winners.

A very much depleted Spa team took to the field against Currow last Thursday night. Even though they were missing 5 regulars the Spa men put the home team to the pin on their collars for large periods of the game with Evan Jones and Eoghan Cronin excelling when moved to midfield. Niall McCarthy and Niall Moynihan scored some points in the second half to keep the Spa in touch but as the 2nd half wore on Currow ran out worthy winners.
